Linda Harvey is not happy that an Ohio Republican group is welcoming attendees to this year’s Gay Games, the event for LGBT athletes that is taking place in Cleveland and Akron.
The Ohio-based activist, who hopes to ban LGBT Pride Parades, denounced both the Gay Games and the Cuyahoga County Republicans today on her “Mission America” radio commentary: “Why do we need events like this which give legitimacy to a deviant and harmful lifestyle? The purpose of the Gay Games may well be to try to create a different impression and disguise the truth, which is that homosexuality is associated with much higher health risks and it is not life-honoring and life-giving behavior but the opposite.”

Geez girlfriend. Get a life. Or can it be that Harvey is nursing some old wounds like Jonathan Saenz, the anti-gay spokesman out of Texas whose wife left him for another woman. (Editor's note - seeing that this news about Saenz came out today, I know some of you are asking "well why aren't you covering that?" Really folks! I don't cover such soap opera drama. But I didn't say I wouldn't link to the article so that you can read all about it. Hint, hint, hint.)
